Overview
go_router_builder is a Flutter package that generates strongly-typed route helpers for the go_router package, enhancing navigation safety and developer productivity. It enables compile-time validation of routes by generating Dart code from route definitions, reducing runtime errors. The builder integrates seamlessly with go_router, supporting all major platforms including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Developers benefit from auto-completion, refactoring support, and improved code readability when managing complex routing logic in Flutter apps.
